Congratulations are also in order to Brandon Smith who will be appointed as a Board Member to the Draper Community Foundation to represent the Draper Youth Council.

What's next?

ELECTION NIGHT: Tuesday, April 28th 5:45-6:45

Each candidate will be given 2:00 minutes to "campaign" and share why they are the person who can do the best job for the Youth Council. You can do a poster, flyer, treats, etc. Whatever you think will help you.

You can also make phone calls, send e-mails, texts, etc. this week to try to gain support.

The only limitations are to not spend more than $10.00 total and to not go over the time limit. Negative campaigning will not be allowed either-no trashing your opponents.

It will take some time to count the votes, so the results wil be posted on the blog later on, just like in a real election.

If you have questions, post them to the blog!
